The DNA genes are already Mutated. So the Baby can take on the traits of the mutation. In some cases it may be delayed.

No worries! If your cousin is healthy and taking care of herself and not doing drugs, her baby should be just fine :)

My best friends brother is a crack baby he came out with a lot of health issues and he seems slow but is actually quite normal it sometimes takes him more time to grasp something but he will get it as long ashe is trying to.

If you're asking if your cousin's baby can come out as a "crack baby" because of her boyfriend's mom, then the answer is no. If your cousin was doing crack or other drugs then yes her child would have a very high possibility of being a "crack baby". It is not something that is genetic, therefore it cannot be passed from the child's grandma to her grandchild.

well I was born as you quote a crack baby and I'm just fine. But that doesn't happen with all cases as you know with anything thats harmful for our babies like cigarette smoke can cause SIDS crack cal do damage to a growing fetus with every inhale a mother takes thousand and thousands of chemicals are surounding the helpless fetus inside its mother its like burning trash and gas all the chemicals destroy the ozone layer because the ozone layer cant run and hide
